siderations for Safety

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling vents.

• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.

• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects

as this can damage the projector lens. Use the lens cap when the projector is not in use and during transport. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.

• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.

• Do not drop the projector.

• Do not spill liquid on the projector. Spilled liquid may damage the projector.

• Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

• Do not overload wall outlets.

• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.

• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.

• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’ polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local disposal laws.

• Use an InFocus approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of nonapproved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.

• When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury before opening lamp door.

• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.

• Only use replacement parts specified by InFocus. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty

• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector warranty.

• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” message.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty Booklet.

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector between 30 inches (.75m) and 65 inches (1.65m) from the screen. To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 24 inches (.61m) of a wall or other object.

• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly re InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n SP-CEIL-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on page 34. We recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.

• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determine the size of the projected image. (The throw ratio of the IN3916 is 0.49:1.)

• IN3916 image offset is 105% +/-2%. This means th

at if you have an image 40 inches (1 meter) tall from a table-mounted projector, the bottom of the image will be 2.8 inches (.07 meter) above the centerline of the lens.

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. Depending on your source, you will want to choose the aspect ratio (using your projector remote or keypad) which matches your source.

Older TV screens and laptops are 4:3; newer TV screens, HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9; and widescreen computers are 16:10.

Use an aspect ratio of 16:9 for widescreen movies and HDTV, and use Native for 4:3 content. Force Wide can also be enabled to automatically resize le ss common aspect ratios to 16:10.

Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.

You can connect the projector to most video cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the sign al must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu. See page 31 for more information.

Troubleshooting LitePort

• If images load slowly: Make sure you are using a newer USB 2.0-

compatible (high speed) USB flash drive. Larger image file sizes may also slow down the player; to reduce file size, use an image editing program on your computer to resize images smaller; for the best balance between image quality and speed, resize images to be 1024 pixels wide.

• If no images are found, or some images are not shown, or you only see folder

thumbnails but no images: Make sure that images are JPEG file type (file extensions .JPEG and .JPG); other file types are not supported and will be ignored.

• Using the Source button, make sure you have the LitePort source selected and

make sure your USB flash drive is correctly and completely plugged in to the projectors LitePort connector.

• If nothing happens when you connect your USB flash drive, and you cannot

select the LitePort input source as described above: Check the format of your USB storage device. LitePort only supports USB storage devices formatted as FAT32. Devices formatted as NTFS, and non-storage devices (such as cameras) are not supported.

3 Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into the USB A

connector on the rear of the projector.

4 The projector will display the LitePort menu. 5 Click PtG and navigate to the desired presentation using the arrow buttons on

the projector keypad or remote.

6 Click Select to display the desired presentation.
